Physicist
Alain Aspect conducted a most remarkable experiment demonstrating that the web
of subatomic particles that composes our physical universe - the so-called
"fabric of reality itself" - possesses what appears to be an
undeniable "holographic" property. (Read more about the experiment here)

We might think that we are an advanced species, but we possess limited
knowledge of the world around us.

We are moved by moved by neurophysiological signals and subject to a
variety of biological, psychological and sociological influences over which
we have limited control and little understanding.

Suppose for a minute that we do live in a matrix and our reality is
nothing but an illusion.

Do we live in a computer
stimulation?

What is the simulation argument?

Nick Bostrom, Professor
in the Faculty of Philosophy at Oxford University and founding Director of the
Future of Humanity Institute and of the Programme on the Impacts of Future
Technology within the Oxford Martin School presented his so-called simulation
argument some years ago, and the theory is still widely debated among many
scientists.

If
we omit the mathematical part of the argument, it starts with "the
assumption that future civilisations will have enough computing power and
programming skills to be able to create what I call "ancestor
simulations".

These
would be detailed simulations of the simulators' predecessors - detailed enough
for the simulated minds to be conscious and have the same kinds of experiences
we have.

Think
of an ancestor simulation as a very realistic virtual reality environment, but
one where the brains inhabiting the world are themselves part of the
simulation.

The
simulation argument makes no assumption about how long it will take to develop
this capacity. Some futurologists think it will happen within the next 50
years. But even if it takes10 million years, it makes no difference to the
argument, " writes Bostrom in his paper "Do we live in a computer
simulation?"

Bostrom
says the conclusion is that at least one of the following three propositions
must be true:

1.
Almost all civilisations at our level of development become extinct before
becoming technologically mature.

2.
The fraction of technologically mature civilisations that are interested in
creating ancestor simulations is almost zero.

3.
You are almost certainly living in a computer simulation.

If
we suppose that the first and second suggestion are false, then we can assume
that a "signification fraction of these civilizations run ancestor
stimulations."

We
could be holograms inside an ancestor stimulation.

"If
we work out the numbers, we find that there would be vastly many more simulated
minds than non-simulated minds.

We
assume that technologically mature civilisations would have access to enormous
amounts of computing power.

So
enormous, in fact, that by devoting even a tiny fraction to ancestor
simulations, they would be able to implement billions of simulations, each
containing as many people as have ever existed. In other words, almost all
minds like yours would be simulated.

Therefore,
by a very weak principle of indifference, you would have to assume that you are
probably one of these simulated minds rather than one of the ones that are not
simulated, " Bostrom explains.

Bostrom
also point out that his simulation argument does not prove that we are really
living inside a stimulation, because we possess to little information to
determine which one of the three is either true or false.

We
cannot hope that the first assumption is false. Proposition number 2 requires
convergence among all advanced civilisations, such that almost none of them are
interested in running ancestor simulations.

"If
this were true, it would be an interesting constraint on the future evolution
of intelligent life," Bostrom says.

To
many of us, option number two seems an unlikely scenario considering the
vastness of the Universe and the number of advanced extraterrestrials species
we could encounter if we had the means to travel among the stars.

"If real is what you can
feel, smell, taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted
by your brain…"

-Morpheus - The Matrix movie

Assumption
number three is without doubt the most intriguing one. We could really be
living in a computer simulation created by some advanced extraterrestrial
civilization.

"What
Copernicus and Darwin and latter-day scientists have been discovering are the
laws and workings of the simulated reality. These laws might or might not be
identical to those operating at the more fundamental level of reality where the
computer that is running our simulation exists (which, of course, may itself be
a simulation). In a way, our place in the world would be even humbler than we
thought," Bostrom explains.

Why would an advanced civilization create a virtual
world?

"If
each advanced civilization created many Matrices of their own history, then
most people like us, who live in a technologically more primitive age, would
live inside Matrices rather than outside," Bostrom says.

We
could be scientific experiment that is closely monitored by those alien beings
who programmed the stimulation.

Even
worse, we could be nothing more than a virtual game to our creators, in the
same way we enjoy playing computer games. It is really impossible to tell.

How can we know if we are really living in a matrix?

If
the simulators don't want us to find out, we probably never will. But if they
choose to reveal themselves, they could certainly do so.

If
the architects of this virtual reality want us to know we a holographic being
living in a matrix, they can simply make a window pop up in our visual field
with the text "YOU ARE LIVING IN A MATRIX. CLICK HERE FOR MORE
INFORMATION".

"Another
event that would let us conclude with a high degree of confidence that we are
in a simulation is if we ever reach a point when we are about to switch on our
own ancestor simulations. That would be very strong evidence against the first
two propositions, leaving us only with the third, Bostrom says.

possible to escape the matrix? Image from movie The Thirteenth Floor

How should we live in a matrix?

"If
we knew the Architects' motives for designing Matrices then the hypothesis that
we live in one might have major practical consequences. But in fact we know
almost nothing about what these motives might be. Because
of this ignorance, our best method for getting around in the matrix (if that is
where we are) to study the patterns find world experience.

We
would run experiments, discover regularities, build models, and extrapolate
from past events.

In
other words, we would apply the scientific method and common sense in the same
way as if we knew that we were not in a Matrix. To a first approximation,
therefore, the answer to how you should live if you are in a Matrix is that you
should live the same way as if you are not in a Matrix., " Bostrom says.

It
would seem there is no way to escape the matrix... Even you think that you
really managed to escape the matrix, how will you know it was not just a
simulated escape?

Before the industrial revolution, most people worked in agriculture, recounts
Howard, decades after machines took those jobs, he claims that eighty percent
of the workers were much worse off, in fact they did not have a basic living
wage.

According to Howard, the economic data is already pointing out the fact that technological obsolescenceis already upon us.
Productivity is at record levels, whereas employment is stagnant or even
going down.

Howard concludes, "Be aware of the exciting
opportunities of machine learning, but also be aware of the threats to
our socio-economic systems."﻿

A serial entrepreneur, business strategist, software developer, and committed
educator, Jeremy is developing a new startup, Strategic Data Science, which
aims to make machine learning accessible to non-experts. He is also currently a
faculty member at Singularity
University, where he teaches data science to government leaders,
business executives, research scientists, and graduate students in order to
"educate, inspire, and empower" them to apply exponential

From the time you open
your eyes at birth, you see the New World as an entire Universe. You giggle and laugh at the
appearance of the creatures participating in this reality. The funny-looking
bipeds that take care of you are becoming your guardians or parents. As you
grow you realize that you want to be part of this world because you feel alive
when interacting with the environment.

By the age of two you’ve
been conditioned to believe whatever your guardians say. For the most part
unintentionally, the adults around you project their worst fears onto you. If
the fear projection is intentional, it’s human behavior at its worst. This experience
is synonymous with another human behavior used in taming or controlling
creatures – domestication. Are you, a new consciousness, being domesticated by
the chosen reality?

By the time a child turns
five it has been fully conditioned by the surrounding society, and questions of
purpose are put aside in the name of human acceptance. As time goes by, the
child becomes a teenager, then an adult and it could spend a whole lifetime
trying to remember why he or she exists in the first place. It seems amusing to
think that everything you do throughout your life is really irrelevant, because
your whole lifetime is the answer to one question. The rest comes down to
personal choice.

When transitions occur,
one reality morphs into another and that’s when you realize that the doctrines
of afterlife – the same doctrines that made you fear your own full potential as
a genius – were only partially true and for most part full of errors. So, what
went wrong with your experience? Actually nothing, because you lived and experienced
the reality you chose.

The selectiveness and
unworthiness that religions preach make you wonder why humanity is still living
in tribal awareness when it knows that it’s a species inhabiting a planet
within a solar system within a seemingly infinite Universe. It’s quite strange
to see so much potential not being used. Did you know that humanity is the only
species on planet Earth that is consciously preoccupied with its own mortality?
Everything else is already experiencing natural balance. Are you, as a human
being, afraid to accept that you are already part of a larger picture?

In order to understand
humanity and what each individual is experiencing, we have to access the human
archetype, which is the consciousness a species intentionally creates, according
to awareness. Consciousness may be compared to water, and the process of
accessing this brings the sensation of swimming in an ocean where you encounter
inhabitants of various kinds that connect with each other for the maintenance
and well-being of the planet.

With this in mind, let’s
jump into the ocean of the human archetype and start swimming through the
thoughts and feelings of 7 billion people. It’s an experience of global
proportions, and it allows us to Feel the spiritual and physical senses of each
individual simultaneously.

Interestingly enough, in
our journey through human consciousness, we realize that the reality created
contradicts the one sought by each individual, and this reality in turn
conflicts with Nature. Our realization is that humanity is experiencing a
paradox within a paradox. A paradox basically means a self-contradictory
statement that is or may be true. Welcome to the evolution of Awareness!

A brief picture of the
present moment reveals four key areas of contradictory realities. The first is
the awareness of an individual who creates his or her own reality, based on
personal thoughts and desires. From here the picture gets bigger… The second
contradictory reality is characterized by a bond of code (morality) created
among individuals belonging to related biological lineages – ideology of
family. In this reality, individual growth – by following your Heart – is felt
as a threat by family members as they see that the pattern of life is going to
change.

Next… we have awareness grouped
according to regional location – the cultural experience. This is basically a
collection of group habits and traditions, based on mythological awe and the
wonder of self-realization. If you haven’t realized this… we all come from
dysfunctional families. Every case is different but the common factor is
elusive happiness. As a result of these dysfunctional families, a structural
society was created that is also dysfunctional. This is the fourth
contradictory reality.

Social awareness is
limited by political systems that define tribal mentality as a country. In each
country this social awareness is normally represented by the quality of mercy
people exhibit toward each other through tolerance, understanding and
unconditional aid. What has humanity come to? Our culture is in the wrong
paradigm, as it doesn’t appreciate the power of thought. Present concepts of
materialism and religion strips mankind of the need to feel
self-responsibility. A structured society that can’t provide a livelihood for
its own people, through basic necessities for survival such as food, health
care, clothing, shelter and employment, reveals a lack of purpose.

Did humanity lose their
sense of direction, both for themselves and planet Earth? The answer to this
question, is not as complicated as people think. The mystery can be narrowed
down to one aspect of consciousness – Awareness.

But in reality there’s no
mystery at all. The chaos that human philosophies are based on is the order
humans do not yet understand. If the Universe is One Verse, then why is
humanity limiting its true potential? The answer… is fear of the outcome.

Fear from what? Fear
itself is man-made and ironically it profits us nothing. Humanity is afraid to
acknowledge that it’s part of the Transcendental Absolute. In other words,
people are afraid to acknowledge they are Creators! So, what’s it like living
as a Creator? A person must be fearless, responsible and filled with infinite
re-creative energy – Love. It’s not about being good, but nice to oneself (One
Self) and Others… In this, Eternity is every Breath you make.

Understanding the
existence of a primary Source brings us to the most heated debate people
project onto the human consciousness. At the moment there are two major
philosophical movements that continue debating the doubt behind Existence and
Singularity – Creation. Both science and religion are related to one another,
as the philosophy they share is the chaos from which order arose. But chaos is
actually order that people don’t yet understand, and from this the theory of
truth was created to reconnect people to something that already exists. The
creation of human truth is a daily experience and different from generation to
generation, person to person.

What we experience today
is an increased number of human experiences within a lifespan due to a fusion
of cultures and traditions that allow the present human to communicate, travel,
and know things faster than ever before. It’s a reality that previous
generations could not have imagined. People today are aware that the Earth is
round, they can travel from one side of the planet to the other in several
hours and not years, can eat Mexican cuisine in Australia, and talk to someone
across the world via a phone or the Internet.

All of this basically
means that the knowledge a person has today is an accelerated evolvement of the
physical self that has occurred in a very short period of earthly time. The
acceleration of the physical progress, which started about 100 years ago, has
added thousands of new words and expressions to the human vocabulary, as well
as the technology we take for granted.

In a world inundated with
technological innovation, many people start feeling emotionally empty when
trying to relate to their jobs and their relationships to the anthropomorphic
deities that earthly religions preach. Since the religions of humans are like
the leaves on a tree that come and go with the seasons, losing faith is a
common occurrence that often creates new religions evolved from old ones.
Actually, losing faith has nothing to do with belief in a Supreme Being, but
more to do with the loss of patience in the quest to find a spiritual home.

Hypothesizing the
Creation of the World has been one of the greatest challenges in human thought.
Science and religions differ wildly in their theories and conclusions. The
greatest obstacle of religions is a compromise of physical evidence in an
irregular time frame – every major religion claims that the world was created
at a different time. And science claims that the Earth is billions of years old
– an infinity in human history.

To some extent, empirical
evidence favors science when one is trying to understand the evolution of the
planet and its ecological abundance. The diversity of flora and fauna in the
fossil record can’t be explained by the religions of today, and that gives
science a boost in popularity. Science clearly explains that all species in
Nature are connected to one another, and if one of them becomes extinct then
the food chain is broken and many other species will be affected. While some
religious beliefs assign very negative meanings to certain earthly creatures –
such as snakes and spiders – because of their appearance, science looks at
these creatures as necessities in maintaining balance in Nature.

Most scientists find it
difficult to accept the gods of earthly religions, and often those who
participate in religious activities do so because of the cultural heritage they
have been taught since childhood. But many analytical scientists reject earthly
religions due to a lack of logical empirical evidence. Those analytical-minded
people who insist on seeing physical evidence before they will believe in an
anthropomorphic deity are referred to as agnostics by the religious community.
The basic definition of an agnostic is one who believes that we cannot truly
know ‘God’. But which God?

The diversity of earthly
religions is increasing year after year through many divisions and
subdivisions. The reason for this is that none of the earthly religions has yet
succeeded in fully explaining the identity, meaning, and purpose of the human
species in the Universe. Otherwise, the people of planet Earth would share the
same core spiritual beliefs, which would on a subconscious level create the
collective consciousness. Going back to the so-called “nonbelievers,” atheists
are misunderstood by the religious community. According to an ancient Arab
proverb, “an enemy is a person who you don’t know.” Nonbelievers of all
religions have usually been considered the enemies of those religions.
Agnostics and atheists are more than enemies – they are outcasts in most
religions. But their existence lends credence to the fact that none of the
earthly religions can truly explain Universal Consciousness.

Some religions have
portrayed the creative force behind everything as an old man with attitude who
hasn’t aged since the dawn of humanity and who lives on a cloud somewhere in
the sky waiting for his children to return home. He greets humans with open
arms for their obedience, or with a sword of judgment for disobedience that
results in them being cast away to a place called hell. Why, in the
Judeo-Christian Old Testament, does the omniscient being demand grilled meat,
encourage slavery, and practice ethnic cleansing? One could go on… Attributing
the psychological and physical characteristics of humans to the source of
everything that exists, both seen and unseen, is a very odd idea for the
analytically minded, who note that this so-called God has behavior that bear a
striking resemblance to the psychological mindset of the angry human. However,
many skeptics do believe in a supreme power unlike any preached on Earth. This
Power is responsible for the Big Bang, has no physical form and therefore no
gender – it’s composed of pure energy and emanates throughout the Universe.

The idea of one Universal
Energy or Life Force is also shared by many who embrace New Thought – they live
scattered across the globe, though most of them are in Western nations. Most
people on Earth believe in one form or another of a Supreme Being. The names
given to this Being are irrelevant, because it’s the same Source.

Science offers no
explanation for spirituality – often choosing to ignore that side of the human
psyche – and explains human relationships in psychological terms as complex
behavior patterns. But this works only up to a certain extent. There is an
unexplained side to humanity, including certain dreams, visions, intuition,
heroism, and true love, some of which are categorized by science as
schizophrenia. If we try to reason this explanation, we have to ask ourselves
whether humanity as a whole is schizophrenic and suffers from mass delusions?
If that’s true, then are homo sapiens just consumers living in altered states
of consciousness?

The reality of science is
that it’s very practical and rewards contributors with material recognition.
This success is encouraging many scientists to explain everything in physical
and theoretical realities. But regardless of how much psychology they use,
scientists still can’t explain with a common theory the spiritual experiences
people have.

It’s ironic to think that
humanity has reached a critical point in the evolution of human consciousness,
and the obstacle is that neither science nor spirituality is willing to admit
that it knows something the other doesn’t. It’s crucial for the human
philosophies to embrace each other if humanity is meant to continue its
existence on planet Earth by saving and rebuilding the home others neglected.
Evolution is not about polarity, but Awareness. When that’s realized, the
visions of the ancients will be implemented and humanity will begin exploring
the vastness and wonders of this Universe.

If science and
spirituality are connected to one another, then what’s preventing a compromise?
The answer is as simple as Awareness. Awareness is a fusion of consciousness
and emotions into one experience of life. It can include intuition that saves a
person’s life from a car accident, or calling a friend or relative who is not
surprised by your call because they were thinking of you. In many ways,
awareness allows a synchronized number of events to happen for the purpose of
accomplishing a thought. But that’s not all, because Awareness is the Volume of
the Universe, and the principle of Awareness is Flow and Feel. The
ramifications of understanding that Awareness is not only an individual
experience, but also part of the volume of the Universe, is a revolutionary
concept in human consciousness.

Understanding this will
unify humanity in ways that no one thought possible, because people will find
no reason to be self-centered. Religious or spiritual-minded people will find
no reason to create new churches because they will acknowledge that everyone is
meaningful and part of the Transcendental Absolute. On the other hand,
scientific types will be more open-minded when analyzing unorthodox history and
phenomena. Ignorance, stubbornness, arrogance and many protective behaviors
people create for healing purposes will be seen as barbaric. People will try to
understand and help each other because the self-realization of every person
will be that the existence of everyone is equally important. There are numerous
examples that can be given reflecting Awareness as the Volume of the Universe.
But many people will not be able to understand the synchronicities taking place. So,
open you mind, don’t be afraid to ask specific questions, listen… observe and
always think big.
